After I traveled through the book, my sister kidnapped my mother

The three of them arrived at Taoyuanju. Before they even entered, they could already feel the hustle and bustle inside. There were indeed a lot of people.

Standing at the door to greet the guests were two elegant men with rouge and powder on their faces.

I have to say this shop is quite knowledgeable. Even the staff who greets customers don't wear heavy makeup like in other shops, nor are they overly flattering. This boss is quite extraordinary.

Nowadays, women have a higher status, and there are many more women coming to these taverns and houseboats. If I remember correctly, Taoyuanju seems to be the first tavern in Yunjing City to offer male waiters.

The waiters in the store are all hired in a fair and honest manner. They can perform and accompany guests, but they are not allowed to do anything physical, which is the store's rule.

When Wen Zhimiao first heard about this store, he thought the owner was quite amazing.

Isn’t this just like some bars or massage parlors in later generations?

They are clearly recruiting good-looking people to perform and attract customers, but they really won't do anything that is not allowed by the law.

Moreover, this type of consumption is no longer limited to the powerful and wealthy, but can also be afforded by some middle-class people.

As expected, human thinking will always develop, and no one can stop people with ideas from making money.

As soon as the three of them entered, many people looked over, including quite a few court officials. Wen Zhimiao had just been named the crown prince yesterday, so it was impossible for these people not to know him.

Everyone thought that Wen Zhimiao was coming to arrest people again. More than ten years ago, Wen Zhimiao and the Supervisory Office closed down all the brothels in Yunjing City. Many people still remembered that incident.

They all ran away secretly before Wen Zhimiao saw them.

There was an acquaintance there.

Wen Zhimiao saw Qi Guyu sitting on the second floor near the guardrail and greeted her with a smile: "Aunt? You're here too?"

Qi Guyu quickly stood up.

Wen Zhimiao waved at her: "No, no, you and yours, we just came here to have a drink."

After saying this, she made a gesture to Qi Guyu to keep quiet. Although those officials recognized her, no one dared to come out and say hello.

Not everyone else knew her.

No one has exposed her identity yet, and Wen Zhimiao doesn't want to expose herself.

Qi Guyu understood, nodded slightly to her and sat down again.

The owner of Taoyuanju also came out in a hurry. When she saw Wen Zhimiao running to her in a hurry, she almost knelt down.

Wen Zhimiao quickly asked Chu Qiu to stop her.

"Your Highness is just here to drink today. Please don't make loud noises. You are running your business properly and as long as it does not violate the law, Your Highness will naturally not do anything. Understand?" Chu Qiu whispered a warning in her ear.

The boss was a shrewd man and nodded quickly: "I understand." Only then did Chu Qiu let her go.

"Please come in. Do you want the lobby or a private room?" the boss asked cautiously.

"Can we see the performance outside from the private room?" He Yuanyao asked curiously.

"Of course we can, but the private rooms are usually on the third floor. They may be a bit high, but we can order dancers and musicians to perform individually." The owner of Taoyuanju answered cautiously.

"The second floor has the best view, and there aren't many people disturbing you." The boss introduced it to the group.

"Then let's go to the second floor." He Yuanyao originally wanted to have some fun, and it wouldn't be so lively if she went to the private room.

Wen Zhimiao didn't have any objection anyway, as long as those guys didn't make a fuss about exposing her identity. It didn't matter if she knew it secretly as long as she didn't announce it loudly.

After all, publicizing it loudly could easily cause a commotion among other ordinary people.

Shi Wanyue was still cautious. When she went upstairs, she said to the boss, "Her Highness doesn't want anyone to spread the news that she was here today. Please let the boss know."

"I understand, I understand. I will send someone to inform you all later." She was a smart person and naturally understood what Wen Zhimiao meant.

Since she opened a business, she naturally didn't want to cause too much commotion.

After all, if the noise is too loud, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will definitely leave, and the other guests will not be able to stay.

She couldn't expect the prince to compensate her for her losses. After all, if there was a real riot, it would be good enough if the prince didn't punish her. She didn't dare expect any compensation.

The seat the boss found for Wen Zhimiao and others was right next to Qi Guyu and his companions. There were also several female officials drinking with Qi Guyu. When they saw Wen Zhimiao going upstairs, they bowed silently.

Wen Zhimiao whispered, "No need to be polite, just chat."

For the first time, He Yuanyao intuitively felt that things were different now.

After sitting down, she asked Wen Zhimiao in a low voice: "Miaomiao, should I not be able to ask you to come to places like this casually in the future?"

Wen Zhimiao laughed: "Not really. They will get used to it after a few more visits."

"It's not like the prince can't have fun, nor is he going to some shameful place. There's no need to be so cautious." Wen Zhimiao said with a smile.

He Yuanyao still didn't understand: "You used to come here often. You were also a princess at that time. Why did no one care about you?"

Shi Wanyue poured herself a cup of tea and said, "Because in their eyes, you and I were just children. Even if you and I have reached adulthood, but we do not participate in government affairs and play around in Yunjing City all day, naturally no one will care."

"Oh, I guess I understand. Now that you and Miaomiao are both popular figures, naturally more people are paying attention to you." He Yuanyao has indeed grown a lot after all.

Shi Wanyue couldn't help but look at her with a smile: "Ayao, you are wrong."

"Ah? Wrong again?" She was a little frustrated. As expected, she still didn't understand these things.

"It's not just Miaomiao and I who are in the limelight, it's you too." Shi Wanyue vaguely sensed He Yuanyao's lack of confidence and frustration.

She looked at He Yuanyao seriously: "There are many people paying attention to you now, but you just haven't noticed."

He Yuanyao scratched his head: "Really? But why are you paying attention to me? I have no official position."

"But you assisted my sister, led the troops to provide timely support, stopped the Wen family's assassins from chasing my sister, and found the private soldiers of the Wen and Duan families hiding near Yunjing. You even escaped from the blockade alone. This is already something worthy of attention."

"Later, you went to Nanshao and did a lot for the general. Although you didn't have an official position, you also had military merits. Among the young men in the entire Yunjing City, how many people can surpass you?" Shi Wanyue looked at her seriously and asked.

He Yuanyao felt a little embarrassed listening to her say this.

"Hey, so these are also amazing?"

Wen Zhimiao didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "Don't always compare yourself with your sister. There are only a few people in this world who can compare to your sister. I can't do that either."

In terms of meticulousness and character, Wen Zhimiao believes that he is definitely not as good as Wen Jiuzhao.

Of course, she didn't want to compare with the past.

He Yuanyao has too big a filter for Wen Jiuzhao. Wen Jiuzhao has been teaching her since she was a child, so it is inevitable that he would use her as the standard in everything. Wen Zhimiao couldn't help but wonder if her decision to let Wen Jiuzhao teach He Yuanyao was a wrong one.

But she couldn't think of anyone else who was more suitable to discipline He Yuanyao, and she really didn't listen to anyone except Wen Jiuzhao.

No solution.
